Come, cause death and pain abound
Come, cause stress and worry surround
Come, cause the world has gone hard
Come, cause sin has left us scarred
Come, cause life can make us blind
Come, cause darkness clouds the mind
Come, cause what we fail to see
Is God, and love, and the world that was meant to be
So tonight…
Come, for the kingdom of God is near
Come, for love banishes all fear
Come, for peace runs like a river
Come, for even angels quiver
Come, for we gather to worship tonight
Come, for we gather to celebrate light
Come, for sin has lost the fight
Come, for God is making things right
Come, for death no longer stings
Come, for winter will give way to spring
Come, for the slain Lamb to whom we sing
Is risen, is here, is King.
